MEMORYTALE --- Your Best Friend (Undertale AU)

(Not So) Welcome to Hotlands

Frisk decided to take a pit stop at the tem shop. She figured out a way to make money by buying the really cheap tem flakes and selling them for more. That was cheating. And Frisk already had a bunch of G. I saw little point in this, but Frisk was bored and emotionally stressed and wanted to rest. I didn't think this was 'resting' but she shut me up whenever I voiced my opinion. So of course it's time to call Sans and rant at him how annoying Frisk is being without using names! I pulled out my nice new phone and placed Sans' number on my contacts, praying for this to work. I quickly called him.

"911 what's your emergency" Sans started. Deja vu?

"Do you say this whenever you get a call?" I asked.

"oh hey, cameron. you got a new phone?" He asked.

"Yeah sure, you can say that," I responded. It was an old ghost phone from the void, not exactly new.

"well. okay," Sans responded.

"Sorry for earlier, I really am sorry for your brother's loss," I half-lied. I mean, I was kinda the cause of his death. But death is bad.

"was your family in the ruins killed?" He asked. I imitated a monster from the RUINs, then remembered that yeah we killed everyone, the answer was obvious.

"Yeah, they did. I only stayed safe by staying inside" I responded

"well i'm sorry for your loss too," Sans stated. I sighed.

"Thanks. Means a lot," I responded an awkward silence stretches on for a few minutes, broken on my side with the sound of Frisk trying to eat a tem flake and exclaiming how it tasted just like cardboard. The silence stretched on.

"so, why did you call? just to apologize? you don't seem like the type of person to do that,"

"Didn't really have anything better to do," I stated. A pang of Deja vu washes over me. Sans seems to choke into the phone. Which was weird. I thought skeletons don't need air... Well, maybe magic skeletons do but still... Frisk walked out of the Tem Shop.

"Yo," She said. I waved.

"Listen Sans, I have to go," I told him.

"take care camera," Sans responded.

"You too Snas," I said and hung up.

"What'chu doing?" Frisk asked.

"Calling our favourite, currently living, skeleton," I responded. Frisk frowned.

"I have a feeling thats not permanent," She asked

"What? Me calling him or him being alive?" I responded. I liked calling him like we were meant to be friends.

"... Both," She responded. I start floating out of Temmie village and Frisk follows behind. We passed the spot and Undyne's dust seemed... Cleaned up. Like someone came in after us and scooped it all up. Maybe to spread on her favourite object. But who..? Whatever. We kept walking.

*Determination

Suddenly, as we were walking along, Frisk started complaining about the temperature. I remembered the library book. It mentioned Searing heat. A sign read 'WELCOME T' but no more was written. It must have shut down. We passed a sentry station covered with snow and crossed a bridge. Lava pooled under it and Frisk almost freaked out. Finally, we arrived at a water cooler. Frisk ran over and poured herself a cup.

"I don't care what you say, I'm thirsty and hot," Frisk stated. I rolled my eyes. I wasn't going to say anything but if she expected me to, it would be better if I did.

"How dare you assume I have a clever quip for everything. Only for the stupid things you do... Wait wouldn't that be everything?" I monologued with a smirk. Frisk rolled her eyes. She filled another cup and kept walking. Then I smirked as it faded out of her hand.
